Stanford University is located on a 8180 acre (3,310 hectare) campus in the San Francisco Peninsula in the north-west of the Santa Clara Valley (Silicon Valley), located about 37 miles (60 km) south of San Francisco and about 20 miles (32 km ) northwest of San Jose. The main campus is located near the city of Palo Alto, limited by the Camino Real, Stanford Avenue, Junipero Serra Boulevard and Sand Hill Road. The University also operates the Hopkins Marine Station in Pacific Grove, California, on Monterey Bay.
Stanford University has 8183 acres (3,312 hectares), making it the second largest university in the world in terms of contiguous area. [Edit] Moscow State University is built vertically and has a total area larger, but is located in a small plot of land. Berry College near Rome, is Georgia 28 000 acres (11,000 hectares) of adjoining land and the College takes 14 200 hectares of Paul Smith (5,700 hectares) of land in the Adirondack Mountains of New York, but not university. Duke University occupies 8709 acres (3,524 hectares), but are not contiguous. [30] The U.S. Air Force Academy contiguous 18,000 acres (7,300 hectares) are available, but this is not a university. Dartmouth College to award a country, [31] more than 50,000 hectares (20,000 acres), but only 269 hectares (109 acres) that they are part of the school [32] [33] Sewanee. The University of South occupied 13,000 hectares (5261 acres) in its "domain", however, most of the wood.
In the summer of 1886 when the campus was the first project that brought Stanford to the President of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Francis Amasa Walker, and prominent Boston landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted West for consultations. Olmsted developed a master plan for the campus and its buildings, rejecting a hillside site for the level of practice. Charles Allerton Coolidge was then, this concept in the late style of his mentor, Henry Hobson Richardson, Richardson Romanesque style, characterized by rectangular stone buildings linked by arcades arches. The original campus was in a Spanish colonial city in California known as Mission Revival design. The red tile roofs and solid sandstone masonry of California are clearly complementary in common in appearance to the famous blue sky, the region, and most buildings were then erected outside remained constant.
Much of this first building was an earthquake in San Francisco destroyed in 1906, but the University reserves the Court, the former building of chemistry (which is not used and has condemned since the earthquake Loma Prieta earth in 1989) [34 ] and Encina Hall (residence of Herbert Hoover, John Steinbeck, and Anthony Kennedy during his stay at Stanford). After the earthquake 1989, further damage the university established a plan to improve the capital of one billion dollars for the modernization and renovation of old buildings with new, current uses.
Stanford University is actually its own census-designated place in Santa Clara County, although some universities (including Stanford Shopping Center and the Stanford Research Park) is within the City of Palo Alto. The campus also includes land on the outskirts of the city of Menlo Park (Stanford Hills neighborhood), and adjacent areas of San Mateo County, partnerships (including SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the Jasper Ridge Biological Reserve). Stanford has a lot to the City of Palo Alto, including the school district and the fire department, but the police are independent. U.S. 94 305 for internal mail and 94 309 for the PO inbox: Stanford Postal Service has two zip codes assigned. Is it starting in area code 650 and campus phone numbers with 721, 723, 724, 725, 736, 497, or 498th
The physicist Werner Heisenberg was once asked if he knew where he was located at Stanford University. "I think it is on the west coast of the United States, near San Francisco. There is also another school nearby, and steal each other trees," he said, based on the rivalry between Stanford and the University of California, Berkeley.
Leland and Jane Stanford founded the University to "promote the public welfare by exercising an influence on the name of humanity and civilization." Stanford opened its doors in 1891 and more than a century later it remains committed to finding the challenges of the day and prepare our students for leadership in today's complex world.
